🐢 A Turtle’s Shell Isn’t Just a Shell
It may look like armor, but a turtle’s shell is actually a living part of its body.
The "carapace" is connected to the ribs and backbone, and the shell contains "nerves and blood vessels" meaning turtles can feel through it. 🤯
✨ It’s not just protection. It’s living, sensitive anatomy.
Green sea turtle hatchlings face incredibly tough odds, with only a tiny fraction surviving to adulthood. That’s why protecting turtles and their ocean home matters so much. 🌊💚
Green sea turtles are still endangered. Statistics say only one in thousand survives.
